KEY INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

AREA: 612.6* hectares (1,513.8* acres).

SCALE & PRODUCTIVITY: An enviable balance of land classes with 469* hectares of arable cropping land and 139* hectares of productive perennial pastures carrying 6,750* Dry Sheep Equivalents. The property has supported a self-replacing merino flock producing quality superfine merino wool in combination with prime lamb production and cattle breeding and finishing. The balance of land class and water resources makes the property equally suitable for any combination of sheep and cattle production.

PASTURES & CROPPING: A long history of cropping, hay making and pasture improvement, with phalaris, cocksfoot, ryegrass and sub-clover the dominant species. Crops include wheat, oats, canola and triticale for grazing and grain or seed, and occasionally for haymaking.

TOPOGRAPHY & SOILS: A gently undulating landscape underpinned by productive red granite-derived soils, predominantly clay loams, complemented by a long history of fertiliser application. More than 95% of the property is suitable for direct drilled pasture establishment.

EXTENSIVE ACCOMMODATION: Originally constructed in 1915 and extensively renovated over successive generations, the homestead reflects more than a century of family ownership and offers approximately 600* square metres of accommodation.

The residence comprises six bedrooms, including a master suite with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, three bathrooms, formal dining and living rooms, a billiard room, office, and a large open-plan kitchen and living area. Character features include pressed metal ceilings, sandstone verandahs, bay windows and open fireplaces.

A major renovation completed in 2012 introduced a new kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, office and verandahs, while retaining the home's original character. The homestead is complemented by established gardens and is supported by modern services including solar hot water, reverse-cycle air conditioning and substantial rainwater storage.

Three renovated cottages and shearers' quarters, provide flexibility for staff, family or guest accommodation.

WATER SECURITY: Securely watered by two headwater tributaries of O'Brien's Creek, seven dams and a permanent spring. An equipped bore feeds a reticulated water system via a 190,000* litre head tank, supplying a network of troughs and the garden.

RAINFALL: Non-seasonal rainfall with a slight winter-spring dominance supports the district's renowned capacity to maintain perennial pastures and achieve high stocking rates. On-farm records from 1985 to 2025 indicate an average annual rainfall of 692mm*

QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE: Fit-for-purpose infrastructure including a five-stand woolshed, steel sheep and cattle yards, stable complex, workshop, hay sheds and grain storage facilities.

SUBDIVISION POTENTIAL: Positioned within one fastest-growing regional areas in New South Wales, the Yass-Canberra corridor benefits from increasing demand for lifestyle and rural living opportunities.
